One of the questions most often asked when a fan buys a ticket for an Soap Opera event is,  "Where does the money go?"  Few people realize how expensive it is to host an event for a huge group of people.  The majority of any ticket price usually goes for the cost of the event production , but what of the rest?

Most of our General Hospital actors have special causes that are dear to their hearts and usually, a percentage of money from ticket sales is donated directly to those charities.  Some actors are very direct and vocal about their endorsement of their favorite cause, while others are more discreet about their support of specific organizations.

The Official General Hospital Fan Club feels it is important to honor the generous spirits of the GH stars who give so freely to these worthy causes.  Listed Below, you will find some of the charities supported by the GH actors. If you feel like giving a little or giving a lot, Donations to these charities can be made at anytime throughout the year, by clicking on the link.

I think we all choose a charity that has touched our lives in one way or another.  I have three charities that are near and dear to me.  A percentage of the  proceeds from our annual event is donated to the following charities.  

Alzheimer's Association - My mother and father both passed away from complications related to this disease.  http://www.alz.org/Donate/DonateOL.asp

The Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation - My sister Beth is a Survivor of Breast Cancer.  She was diagnosed in May 2000, and today I am happy to report she is 6 years cancer free. http://www.komen.org/don

Africa Renewal Ministries: Change a child...a village...a nation.

Jackie Zeman aka Bobbie Spencer has traveled to Africa with the founder of the Gabriel Project Mark Melamed on various occasions to help bring a child to America for heart surgery.  The Gabriel Project has events throughout the year, usually in the NY/NJ areas. Attending the events is a great way to support this foundation. The other way would be to go to their official site and make a donation.

Rick Hearst aka Ric Lansing's charity of choice is: Healing Arts Reaching Kids.

There is not a current on-line link for this program.  If you go on the CHLA site to donate, it will not go to the program that he supports.  The only way to make sure your donations are distributed to the correct program is good old snail mail.
